    An anti-war protester holding a sign interrupted one of Russia's major state television broadcast news shows around 9:31 p.m. Moscow time.

    "NO WAR. Stop the war. Do not believe propaganda they tell you lies here," the sign reads.

    "Russians against war," the last line of the sign says in English.

    On its Telegram channel, OVD-Info reported that the employee is Maria Ovsyannikova. Friends of Ovsyannikova told OVD-Info that she was currently at the Ostankino Police Department in Moscow.

    Russian state news agency TASS confirmed OVD-Info’s reporting, citing a source, and added that she could face prosecution.

    OVD-Info also obtained a video purportedly made by Ovsyannikova before she interrupted the news broadcast.

    "What is happening now in Ukraine is a crime, and Russia is the aggressor country, and the responsibility for this aggression lies on the conscience of only one person. This man is Vladimir Putin," Ovsyannikova says in the video, noting that her father is Ukrainian, and her mother is Russian.

    "Unfortunately, for the past few years, I have been working on Channel One and doing Kremlin propaganda, and now I am very ashamed of it," she says. "It's a shame that I allowed to speak lies from the TV screens, ashamed that I allowed to zombify Russian people."
    "I am ashamed that we kept silent in 2014, when all this was just beginning," she says. "We didn’t go to rallies when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny, we just silently watched this anti-human regime and now the world has turned its back on us forever, and another ten generations of our descendants will not be able to wash away from the shame of this fraternal war.”

    "We are Russian people, thinking and smart, and it is only in our power to stop all this madness," she says. "Go to the rallies and do not be afraid! They can't transplant us all!"

    Videos of the interruption quickly were posted on social media shortly after it aired. CNN obtained the video from a live feed from Russia Channel One VK's profile.

    Within minutes, that live feed was removed.

    I do believe Russian citizens are being treated badly if they protest the war. And one around the world may get harassed. I have neighbors across the street their oldest hs daughter was harrased.

    True, but when Trumpers like Owens say Russian lives matter they aren't talking about protesters, they are backing Russia's war.

    Russian state TV calls for REPARATIONS from the US over sanctions: Putin's lapdogs demand return of 'Alaska and California's Fort Ross', threaten nuclear strikes on US, and call for public hangings in Ukraine
    • Moscow-backed pundits have also begun normalizing the idea of publicly hanging Ukrainians who are fighting against Russia's war
    • State Duma member and Kremlin 'spin doctor' Oleg Matveychev appeared on a Sunday news program to she a list of demands 'after Ukraine’s demilitarization'
    • It includes the dissolution of NATO, lifting of sanctions, and extradition of 'war criminals' President Volodymyr Zelensky, Petro Poroshenko and others
    • A Russian TV host railed against the US's sanctions after his two Italian villas were seized, offering a threat of nuclear strikes if not lifted in 24 hours
    • 'You’re the thieves, our talk is short with you: a bullet to the head,' he said

    Russia imposes sanctions on Biden and several other people including Hillary Clinton, haha. Tell me Putin and Trump aren't BFF's.

    Does seem incriminating.
    But as Bill Maher said "if trumper and Pu were buds why didn't he invade Ukraine under Orangemans rule?
    That I think is a valid question by Bill.

    Because Trump's presidency offered Putin an opportunity he couldn't pass up, to divide America and destroy it or at least weaken it from the inside. Ukraine could wait.
